Ratio estimator

Verify —or revise, if necessary— he axial ratio estimated in the last problem for this protein. 

In general, similarity or general cost ratios estimates are used for developing screening estimates when an estimate is required quickly and a limited accuracy is acceptable. Detailed cost ratios or detailed labor and materials estimates are generally developed prior to actual appropriation of funds to develop a better estimate for budgeting and cost control purposes. 

Order-of-magnitude estimate (ratio estimate). Rule-of-thumb method based on cost data for previous similar types of plant probable error within 10 to 50 percent. 

While sequence distributions are usually subject to more experimental noise than composition data, this is often outweighed by the greater information content. In principle, reactivity ratios can be estimated from a single copolymer sample. The consistency in reactivity ratios estimated with eqs. 45 and 46 for copolymers prepared with different monomer feed compositions and/or obtaining the same result from cqs. 50 and 51 (4 aab—Ai ab) and cqs. 52 and 53 (r aba-Aiba) arc... 

Finding the best estimate of the free energy difference between two canonical ensembles on the same configurational space, for which finite samples are available, is a nontrivial problem. Charles Bennett [11] addressed this problem by developing the acceptance ratio estimator, which corresponds to the minimum statistical... 

The reaction of bromine with the optically active (i )-a-methyl-vinyl p-total sulfoxide 322 also yields a mixture of diastereomeric sulfoxides 323 their ratio, estimated by the NMR method, was 71.5 28.5. 

Using standard conversion ratio estimates (see table below), multiply the mg per day of the previous opioids by the appropriate multiplication factors to obtain the equivalent total daily dose of oral oxycodone. 

Order-of-magnitude (ratio estimate). Bnle-of-thnmb methods based on cost data from similar-type plants are used. The probable accuracy is —30 percent to -1-50 percent. 

Conversion data listed in Table 2 indicate that in the hydrogenation of 4-amino-ethyl benzoate using cyclohexane as a solvent the AI2O3 supported Ru and Rh catalysts are more active than the carbon supported ones. In addition, the conversion of aromatic ester is smaller on Pd/C catalyst than on the carbon supported Ru and Rh. In ethyl acetate the hydrogenation proceeded slower than in cyclohexane, and Rh being more active than Ru. The trans/cis isomer ratio estimated from TLC results varied between 1/3 and 1/1. The UV active by-products were formed in coupling reactions. 

It is seen that the values of the characteristic ratio estimated by the Stodc-mayer-Fixman method scatter about the Brant-Flory value, tending to increase systematically with monomer molar weight This trend is not in accord with the theoretical prediction (96, 97) that the characteristic ratios of polypeptides having side-chains longer than that of polyalanine should become constant. We... 

Gschwend and Hites (1981) observed that the two closely related polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phenanthrene and anthracene, occur in a ratio of about 3-to-l in urban air. In contrast, sedimentary deposits obtained from remote locations (e.g., Adirondack mountain ponds) exhibited phenanthrene-to-anthracene ratios of 15-to-l. You hypothesize that these chemicals are co-carried in aerosol droplets from Midwestern U.S. urban environments via easterly winds to remote locations (like the Adirondacks) where the aerosol particles fall out of the atmosphere and rapidly accumulate in the ponds sediment beds without any further compositional change (i.e., the phenanthrene-to-anthracene ratio stops changing after the aerosols leave the air). If summertime direct photolysis was responsible for the change in phenanthrene-to-anthracene ratio, estimate how long the aerosols would have to have been in the air. Comment on the assumptions that you make. What are your conclusions ... 

Xylan and Glucan Conversions and Degradation Ratios Estimated for Upgrading of Wheat Straw Stems Using P. ostreatus at 40.0 mg/g of Stems and a Moisture Content of 1.60 g of H,0/g of Stems in Scaled-Up Columns"... 

Order of magnitude estimate also called ratio estimate . This method considers economic data for reference equipment and supposes that required pieces of equipment are very similar to the reference ones (in size range, materials, temperature and pressure operating range, etc.). The order of magnitude estimate uses ratios based upon specific size or equipment capacity. For such an estimate, the accuracy is about 40-50%. 

In contrast to the type I deiodinase which shows a high preference for rT4 over T4 as the substrate (Table II), the type II enzyme is somewhat more effective in the deiodination of T4 than of rT3 (Table III). Under the conditions tested, the Km value of T4 for the type II enzyme is three orders of magnitude lower than the Km of T4 for the type I deiodinase. The Km of rT3 for the type II deiodinase is somewhat greater than that of T4 and differs less from the Km of rT3 for the type I enzyme. The Umax of the conversion of T4 to T3 by the type II enzyme depends on the tissue and the thyroid status of the animal (see below). In cerebral cortex of hypothyroid rats [82] it is roughly one-thousandth of the maximum T3 production by the hepatic type I deiodinase of euthyroid animals determined under similar conditions [32]. The VmiJKm ratio of this reaction is, therefore, similar for the type II deiodinase of hypothyroid rat brain and the type I deiodinase of euthyroid rat liver and much greater than that for the hepatic enzyme of hypothyroid rats [86], In view of the reaction kinetics of the type II deiodinase (see below), it is questionable if the Vm,JKm ratios estimated in vitro also apply to physiological conditions with unknown cofactor availability. 

Substitution-Elimination Ratios. Estimates of the ratio of substitution to elimination which accompanied several of the reactions with equivalent quantities of allylic chloride and stabilizer were made by analyzing samples of reaction mixtures for excess acidity. Unfortunately,... 

The isomer ratios estimated for a series of pyrazines, pyridazines, and pyrimidines are in good agreement with experiment (72T1983) they provide not only reasonable predictions of isomer ratios of quaternization products but also a method for rectifying many of the previously contradictory statements in the literature. 

Reactivity Ratios Estimation Based on Copolymer Composition Data... 

The thorough treatment of the experimental data does allow one to obtain reliable values of the reactivity ratios. The results of such a treatment are presented in Table 6.3 for some concrete system let us form a notion about an accuracy of the reactivity ratios estimations. The detailed analysis of such a significant problem in the case of the well-studied copolymerization of styrene with methyl methacrylate is reported in Ref. [227]. Important results on the comparison of the precision of rj, r2 estimates by means of different methods are presented by O Driscoll et al. [228]. Such a comparison of six well-known linear least-squares procedures [215-218,222,223] with the statistically correct non-linear least-squares method leads to the conclusion that some of them [216, 217, 222] can provide rather precise rls r2 estimates when the experiment is properly planned. 

Rice husk ash has characteristics broadly similar to those of microsilica but can be even more strongly pozzolanic. A study of pastes with C3S (K48) showed the CH content to pass through a maximum of 3% at 7 days, referred to the ignited weight by 28 days, it had fallen to 1%. The hydration product was C-S-H with a Ca/Si ratio estimated at about 1.3 by analytical electron microscopy, or 0.9-1.2 from the contents of CH and unreacted starting materials. There were indications that an initial product with a Ca/ Si ratio of 0.1-0.2 was formed.
